Publisher's Description

Free Audio Recorder is software that enables you to record any sound you can hear on your computer, from Internet radio stations to streaming music. You can set the recording audio quality, from a low quality taking minimal disk space, up to CD quality. Select the file to be saved, set the audio quality, and click Record! There are no limitations on the length of the recording, or the recording quality.

Instead of "One Star" - this program should be rated "Bad Moon Rising".

Cons

If you download and install this - you better have a program that can get rid of all the nasty things it will put onto your computer (which includes a trojan). "Deepcom.com" should be ashamed of themselves for trying to SCAM everybody, yet they have the nerve to brag about their "awards" on their website. I emailed a complaint to Deepcom stating I would warn anybody and everybody - which is what I'm doing. They, of course, didn't bother to reply.

I never completed installing this piece of C!R!A!P! - all my anti-spyware and anti-virus programs lit up like the fourth of july and I spent the next several HOURS uninstalling using tools that the average user will not know how to use safely.

Frankly, I am APPALLED that download.com even allows this pure malware to be listed on their site and I will look for alternative sources of software immediately.

b4 u install enter to task manager ->proccesses-> press print screen to save it content, after install u will see 4 spy/tro programs are runing(by comparison), using search to find their position-> end the spy/tro proccess follow "SOME Sequence" ->del 4 folder content spy/tro program located in c:\prog~file\ (last 4 if arrange by modify), u will find 2 folder can't be del, but some file in those folders can be del u just del it, 4 else (*.dll) u rename it(*123.dll)-> log off and log in again-> del remaining folders, and enter to register or download "Startup Inspector for Windows" in download.com install it and del tro/spy string in run key in register!!!

Pros? I never got to run the software as dealing with the quantity of junk that was installed alongside of it prevented me from getting near it.

Cons

I counted at least 2 different trojans and, I believe, 3 different spyware threats that were identified. It was hard to count as my anti-both softwares were going into seizures to keep up with the volume of threats brought on by this piece of garbage.
